Where have I been?! Advocating, outreaching, and organizing...and eating!This is a consumer based blog...when I first started it the intent was to create an online presence so that anyone living in the Reno/Sparks area looking to purchase local food could find a resource using a keyword search. But it is getting difficult for me to keep the consumer needs separate from the need to help build the necessary infrastructure. So I'm feeling inclined to put community info here, as well as family activity and consumer.
Learning about and eating local food, combined with a tendency to ignore my fear-based impulses and an interest in working with groups to make things happen has naturally led me to local food advocacy. Right now there is a lot of national energy geared towards serious change and that energy exists in Nevada, too. So I'm taking this opportunity to get involved.
My friend Leslie and I have a lot of things in common; really great/supportive husbands and local-food-love are among them. We're doing a live interview with KUNR...we'd love it you'd listen in to hear what the local food movement is up to...and tell your friends and family!
